Jayalalithaa's trial in DA case to go on: SC

The court was told that assets of the firm were being shown to be "benami (proxy)" properties of Jayalalithaa but he had documents to establish that these assets belonged to and were owned by him.

At this, the court observed that the matter concerning company was a civil case whereas the case against Jayalalithaa was a criminal case and as such, how were the two connected.

The court however allowed the firm to access the documents that were being relied upon by the prosecution to establish its case and also cross examine the witnesses after Lex Property Developer contended that it was not being allowed to do so.
